Lens Error I fell while holding my camera. The lens was open at the time and when I got up I turned the camera off. I then turned it back on to check it and the lens opened and immediately closed with the "lens error" on the screen. I can turn it off and on and the lens will always open but closes as soon as it has opened with the lens error on the screen. The shutter opens but closes also, like the lens. Can this be fixed? It was a gift so I don't have the bill of sale but I still have the orig

I dropped my camera last night with the lens open. right away i tryed to shut it off and the lens just make a noise like their tryign to shut but they dont. i left it alone for the night and this morning it still does the same thing. The lens are just stuck open and no screen even comes up when i try turning it on. Ive had this camera for about 2 years now so i dont think i still have warranty on it. What should i do?

When i turn on my camera the lens trys to come out but then it gets stuck and goes back in; the screen says "turn the power off and on again" but when i do the same thing keeps happening over and over. The camera has one big rechargable battery so i can't just replace it. I've tried doing the reset, and I've tried tapping around the lens ad hitting the sides or bottom of the camera but nothing has worked.
